i do believe the ones in the bottom are RM's. Correct me if im wrong though.

I'm no expert on identifying different units, but if they were Royal Marines wouldn't they have the SA80/L85? They seem to have M16/C7's.

Great pics. Especially the Canadians. woot woot

The top pic has some sort of rubberised grip on the rear of the stock. Is that a new make of stock or has he attached a rubber grip himself?
My M-4 stock is a nit old now and I put my own rubber grip on. I felt the plastic didn't sit well in my shoulder, it slipped around a bit, but now with the rubber brip it is solid and doesn't move around.

The bottom pic is likely RM.

Royal could tell better than me, but IIRC, the Brigade Patrol Troop (is that the new name of Mountain& Arctic Warfare Cadre?) are issued M-16/C-7 and M203s.

They are not SAS. They are Royal Marines...

I found that picture during OEF in Jane's website and send it to Hood at the very beginning of militaryphotos.net (before it had its own domain). :P

Supposedly those are members of RM's Patrol Troop.

True, but the SBS guys on the video from Afghanistan didn't have any fancy scopes on their guns either. ;)

[Fenna]

Who needs all that fancy ****e anyway :roll:

[DeltaWhisky58]

Perhaps Royal can confirm, but the guys in the third photo have been confirmed as being RM.

BTW - various British units use the Diemaco C7/C8SF besides SDAS/SBS - they are used by various RM units, Para Pathfinder Platoon and other Green Army units - do not assume Brit + C7/C8 = SAS or SBS - not (necessarily) true.

[Uncle Sam]

OK, I made an assumption on the "SAS", which I shouldn't have.
If someone knows exactly who they are, please
feel free to correct.

The pic is the Brigade Patrol Troop. It was taken during the RM deployment to Afghanistan.

Why does everybody insist on blacking out faces when the photos have been released en clair by the original source?

I found 'em that way.

That is very true. As a "wise" man once put it, "50 pounds of gucci gear is still 50 pounds of gear."

[ZeroPositive]
